4 2 Planning This guide provides specific information pertinent to delivering the CSSIA Windows 10 Administration pod. The NETLAB+ Remote PC Guide Series provides the prerequisite guidance for setting up your VMware infrastructure, including: An introduction to virtualization using NETLAB+. Detailed setup instructions for standing up VMware vcenter and VMware ESXi. Virtual machine and virtual pod management concepts using NETLAB+. This document assumes that you have set up virtual machine infrastructure in accordance with the NETLAB+ Remote PC Guide Series. The planning information below refers to specific sections in the Remote PC Guide when applicable. 2.1 Pod Creation Workflow The following list is an overview of the pod setup process. 1. Obtain the master virtual machine images required for the pod. 2. Deploy the master virtual machine images to a master pod. a. Deploy virtual machines using Thin Provisioning to reduce storage consumption. b. Make necessary adjustments to each virtual machine in the environment. i. Insert manual MAC addresses. ii. Change default network to SAFETY NET. 3. Import the deployed virtual machines to the NETLAB+ Virtual Machine Inventory. 4. Activate or license the required software on each virtual machine. 5. Take a snapshot of each virtual machine in the master pod labeled GOLDEN_MASTER. The GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot is used to clone virtual machine images for the user pods. 6. Use the NETLAB+ Pod Cloning feature to create student pods from the master pod. 7. If multiple hosts are used in the NETLAB+ environment, make a Full Clone of the master pod on the initial host (Host A) to the subsequent host (Host B), using the NETLAB+ Pod Cloning Feature. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc.

Click Next. Network mapping is handled automatically by the NETLAB+ system during pod creation. 11. On the Ready to Complete window, confirm the information and click Finish. 12. vcenter will begin deploying the virtual machine. This may take some time depending on the speed of your connection, HDDs, etc. When completed, click on Close. 13. Repeat the previous steps for each remaining virtual machine in the master pod. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 9
10 4.2 Modify and Activate Virtual Machines The following tasks must be performed prior to taking snapshots or assigning the virtual machines to pods Modify Virtual Machines Once the virtual machines are imported onto the host, change the Network Interface Cards (NIC s) MAC address via the VMware vsphere Client interface. The following steps will guide you through the process. 1. In the vsphere Client interface, right-click on the imported virtual machine and select Edit Settings. 2. For all of the virtual machines manually assign the MAC addresses for each NIC. The table below identifies the MAC addresses per NIC. Virtual Machine NIC MAC Server 1 00:50:56:b5:80:39 PC1 1 00:50:56:b5:37:8b PC2 1 00:50:56:b5:59:64 3. Repeat the previous steps for each of the remaining virtual machines in the master pod. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 10
11 4.2.2 VM Credentials For your reference, the following table provides a list of the credentials for the systems in the pod: Machine User name Password Server Administrator Train1ng$ PC1 student Train1ng$ PC2 student Train1ng$ 4.3 Activate Virtual Machines In order to enable all features of the Windows-based virtual machines, licenses will be required for activation. You will need to activate Microsoft Windows on the Windowsbased virtual machines. This needs to be done prior to snapshot, pod assignment, and cloning. There are two options for institutions to access Microsoft licenses. First option is by visiting the MSDN Subscription Portal. Second option is by accessing your institution s Kivuto WebStore via Microsoft Imagine. For more information on obtaining Microsoft license keys, visit the following URL: It is recommended to acquire the Multiple Activation Key (MAK) lab key license for a specified Windows product (reference Section 2.5). This type of key enables you to activate multiple installations of a product with the same key. To identify and distinguish the different key types that Microsoft provides, refer to this link: Please note that activating licenses is only required on master pods. Doing a Link Clone of the master pod will preserve the activation on the cloned VMs in the user pods. It is important to note that when activating Windows, that the VMs have temporary Internet access so that they can contact Microsoft Licensing Servers. There are multiple ways of providing temporary Internet access for VMs in a vsphere environment. The most common way is to temporarily assign the vnic of the desired VM to connect to the virtual switch that is connected to an outside facing physical NIC. For additional guidance on how to specifically activate Microsoft Windows products, Microsoft has written a KB article: 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 11
12 4.4 Create Snapshots for the Master Virtual Machines In order to proceed with pod cloning, snapshots must be created on each of the pods virtual machines. Verify that all VMs are powered off before taking snapshots. 1. Open the vclient on your management workstation. Connect to your vcenter Server. 2. Select Hosts and Clusters in the address bar. 3. Right-click on each virtual machine and select Snapshot > Take Snapshot. 4. Enter GOLDEN_MASTER as the Snapshot Name. 5. Enter a description. It is a good idea to include the date in the description for later reference. 6. Click OK. 7. Repeat Steps 3-6 for the remaining virtual machines in the pod. 8. When all tasks are complete, log out of the vclient. 4.5 NETLAB+ Virtual Machine Infrastructure Setup The NETLAB+ Virtual Machine Infrastructure setup is described in the following sections of the NETLAB+ Remote PC Guide Series: Registering a Virtual Datacenter in NETLAB+ Adding ESXi hosts in NETLAB+ Proactive Resource Awareness It is important to configure Proactive Resource Awareness to maximize the number of active pods per physical ESXi host. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 12
13 4.6 NETLAB+ Virtual Machine Inventory Setup This section will guide you in adding your templates to the Virtual Machine Inventory of your NETLAB+ system. 1. Login into your NETLAB+ system using the administrator account. 2. Select the Virtual Machine Infrastructure link. 3. Click the Virtual Machine Inventory link. 4. Click the Import Virtual Machines button located at the bottom of the list. 5. Select the check box next to the virtual machines you had just deployed and click Import Selected Virtual Machines. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 13
14 6. When the Configure Virtual Machines window loads, you can set your virtual machine parameters. a. Check the drop-down box for the correct operating system for each imported virtual machine. If Windows 10 is not an available option, choose Windows 8. b. Change Role to Master for each VM. c. Add any comments for each virtual machine in the box to the right. It is advised to leave the Version and Build numbers for reference when requesting NDG support. d. Verify your settings and click Import Selected Virtual Machines. e. Click OK when the virtual machines have finished loading. f. Verify that your virtual machines show up in the inventory. For additional information, please refer to the NETLAB+ Remote PC Guide Volume Create the Master Windows 10 Administration Pod This section will assist you in adding the CSSIA Windows 10 Administration pod to your NETLAB+ system. 1. Login into NETLAB+ with the administrator account. 2. Select the Equipment Pods link. 3. Create a new pod by scrolling to the bottom and clicking the Add a Pod button. 4. On the New Pod Wizard, page click Next. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 14
15 5. Then select the CSSIA Windows 10 Administration pod radio button and click Next. 6. Select a Pod ID and click Next. It is best practice to use a block of sequential ID numbers for the number of pods you are going to install. The Pod ID number determines the order in which the pods will appear in the scheduler. 7. Type in CSSIA_WIN10ADM_Master for the Pod Name and click Next. 8. To finalize the wizard, click OK. For additional information, please refer to the NETLAB+ Administrator Guide. 4.8 Update the Master Pod Update the master pod to associate the virtual machines with the newly created pod. 1. Update the master pod on your NETLAB+ system. a. Login into NETLAB+ with the administrator account. b. Select the Equipment Pods link. 2. Select CSSIA Windows 10 Administration master pod. 3. Click on the magnifying glass icon next to the virtual machine you are about to assign. Please note that your PC IDs may not match the graphic below. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 15
16 4. Click on Modify PC Settings. 5. Change the PC Type drop down box to Use Virtual Machine Inventory. 6. In the Base Virtual Machine drop-box, select the corresponding virtual machines from the inventory. 7. Update Base Snapshot to your GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot. 8. Review the information on the screen and click Update PC Settings. 9. Click on Show Pod. 10. Repeat Steps 3-9 for the remaining virtual machines. Make sure the pod status is Offline prior to continuing. The cloning process requires the pod be offline. Since this is our master pod, which is used for cloning other pods, we will keep it offline to create the instructor and student pods from. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 16
17 5 Pod Cloning This section will help you create multiple student pods. The following sections describe the NETLAB+ pod cloning feature used to create student pods on one or two host systems. 5.1 Linked Clones and Full Clones NETLAB+ can create linked clones or full clones. A linked clone (or linked virtual machine) is a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the parent (or master) virtual machine in an ongoing manner. This conserves disk space, and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation. Linked clones can be created very quickly because most of the disk is shared with the parent VM. A full clone is an independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent virtual machine after the cloning operation. Ongoing operation of a full clone is entirely separate from the parent virtual machine. 5.2 Creating User Pods The following section describes how to create user pods on the same VMware Host system that holds your master pod's virtual machines. In this scenario, we will create linked virtual machines using the NETLAB+ pod cloning utility. 1. Login into NETLAB+ with the administrator account. 2. Select the Equipment Pods link. 3. Click on your master pod. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 17
18 4. Click the Clone button to create a new pod based on the settings of this pod. 5. Select the New Pod ID. It is advised to keep the pods in numerical order. If the pod IDs are not in numerical order, they will not show up in the scheduler in numerical order. 6. Click Next. 7. Enter a New Pod Name. For example, CSSIA_WIN10ADM_Pod1. Click Next. 8. When the action has finished processing, you are presented with a settings screen. 9. The three key columns for this master pod clone are Source Snapshot, Clone Type, and Clone Role. The following settings should be applied to all 3 virtual machines: a. Source Snapshot should be set to the GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot you created previously. b. Under Clone Type, verify that Linked is selected. c. Under Clone Role, verify that Normal role is selected. 10. When you are done changing settings, click Clone Pod. This should complete within a minute as we are creating linked virtual machines. 11. When the pod clone process is finished, click OK. 12. Since this is a normal pod, the virtual machines will revert to snapshot upon boot up or shutdown of each pod. You will need to make a GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot of every virtual machine in each pod created. Please see Section 4.3 Create Snapshots for the Master Virtual Machines for additional information regarding snapshot creation. 13. If you want to dedicate this pod to a particular class, team, or student, use the Pod Assignment feature. For details, see the NETLAB+ Pod Assignment Guide. 14. Click the Online Button in the Pod Management page to activate the pod. The user pod can now be reserved. When the reservation becomes active, NETLAB+ will automatically configure virtual machines and virtual networking for your new pod. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 18
19 The GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot is the starting point for all pods. We recommend that you reserve the 1st pod and conduct some labs to make sure the snapshot images work correctly. If there are defects, make corrections to the images to the master pod and retake the GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot before creating additional pods. Time Saver: If you clone the 1st user pod instead of the master pod, the defaults will all be set correctly and you will not have to change the Clone Type or Clone Role each time. The NETLAB+ system will still assume you want to link to the master VMs as masters are ranked higher than normal or persistent VMs in the default pod cloning selections. 5.3 Copying Your Master Pod to the Second Host For this task, we will use the pod cloning utility to copy our master pod to the second host. 1. Login into NETLAB+ with the administrator account. 2. Select the Equipment Pods link. 3. Click on the master pod that was created on the 1st VMware host server. 4. Click the Clone button to create a new pod based on the settings of this pod. 5. Select the New Pod ID. It is advised to keep the pods in numerical order. If the pod IDs are not in numerical order, they will not show up in the scheduler in numerical order. 6. Click Next. 7. Enter a New Pod Name. For example, CSSIA_WIN10ADM_Master2 then click Next. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc. Page 19
20 8. When the action has finished processing, a settings screen will be present. 9. The four key columns for this master pod clone are Source Snapshot, Clone Type, Clone Role, and Runtime Host. a. Source Snapshot should be set to the GOLDEN_MASTER snapshot you created previously. b. Under Clone Type, click the dropdown menu and verify that Full is selected. c. Under Clone Role, click the dropdown menu and select Master. d. Under Runtime Host, select the second host system (which should be different than the system you are cloning from). 10. When you are done changing settings, Click Clone Pod. This may take up to 30 minutes as full copies are being made. You may navigate away from the cloning progress screen, and then later return to the pod to check progress. The NETLAB+ software does not automatically create the snapshots on the virtual machines. It is necessary to create the snapshots manually as you did in a previous section. 11. When the cloning process is complete, you should create a GOLDEN_SNAPSHOT on each virtual machine in the second master pod. 5.4 Creating User Pods on the Second Host To create user pods on the second host, repeat the steps to create user pods on the first host (Section 5.2), substituting the second master pod (created in the previous section) as the cloning source. 5.5 Assigning Pods to Students, Teams, or Classes Please refer to the NETLAB+ Pod Assignment Guide for details on using the Pod Assignment feature. 3/7/2017 Copyright 2017 Network Development Group, Inc.
